volkswagen e-golf review - is the battery golf our current favourite? - lithium ion cell

A few years ago, I asked the chief engineer in charge of Volkswagen electric vehicles --
About which cars are the most suitable driving technology for electrified in the future.
"People like golf," he replied. "So why don't they like battery golf? "Why not?
After all, the golf course is the best in Europe.
So if Volkswagen can pack a battery
That must be the answer.
Like gasoline. or diesel-
Electric golf, electric Golf
Golf is suitable for those who don't like to shout out for propulsion.
As you expect, the new electronics
Golf looks like golf.
In fact, there are some giveaways, especially the special marking and closed radiator grilles on the outside, as well as the unique instruments inside.
Volkswagen veline is owned by Volkswagen and offers 134bhp/100 KW for synchronous AC motors (
Previous models from 113bhp)
Torque with a maximum number of turns of 12,000 and LB feetspeed, step-
Transfer down.
Powered by 264 Samsung lithium-
The ion battery in the 345 kg battery pack provides 35. 8kWh (up from 24. 2kWh)and 323 volts.
Since this Mk7 Golf is designed based on the Volkswagen MQB modular platform, it was designed with battery from the beginning
Electric transmission system, so the masses are set very low in the body, and the service such as air is also very simple.
Power conditioning-
Auxiliary steering, etc.
New Electronics with its larger battery pack
New European golf course (NEDC)
186 miles-
It's a lot better than the 99 miles of the previous model.
Volkswagen defaults to the fantasy elements of the NEDC test by referencing the 124-mile realistic range, which we will confirm after the test. With battery-
Electric vehicles, which tend to ignore the contribution of electricity generation to carbon dioxide emissions, are not available in the Daily Telegraph.
Even with the use of NEDC data, using the UK's average power generation emission data of 470g/kilowatt, golf's carbon dioxide emissions are equivalent to about 56g/km.
The interior is almost the same as standard golf and you will find five adults in it, with legs and clearance space available.
Everything you touch and see is high quality, soft
Touch the material and the plastic that is clearly not molded burrs and itchy.
The instrument binnacle is similar to the standard car on the surface, including two concentric dials showing the power supply and charging, battery charging status, speed and range.
Obviously, it's mainly self. explanatory.
The center console display is the latest in the mass display architecture with excellent graphics and logic control switches, but unfortunately it has a touch screen button to replace the radio volume control dial.
There is also a satellite navigation function that can find the nearest charging point, because it does not tell you the type of charger or their network, so it is just vaguely useful, so you might climb in at the bitter end of the battery range and find that you can't plug in.
The driving position is comfortable and can accommodate most size drivers with a lot of storage space, the central gear bar is completely traditional and when you lift the throttle except for the B setting, the B setting will produce more regenerative braking effects.
Like most electric cars,
The golf course feels sparkling from the outside as the electric motor provides maximum torque from zero rpm. At 1.

One liter of TSI gasoline Golf
Acceleration of golf (0-62mph in 9. 6sec)takes just 0. 3sec longer.
The maximum speed is limited to 93 mph, but performance has dropped sharply, exceeding 70 mph, which limits overtaking power.
Take a special stodginess that says to carry an extra four wells-
Filled adults in weight.
In minor bumps and minor ups and downs, this is not detectable, but with increased turns and or greater bumps and potholes, the shock absorber will feel faltering during the trip.
The steering is accurate, slightly overassisted, the brakes are strong, but the balance between regeneration and friction braking is slightly inconsistent.
Throw it over (
You won't do this because it uses too much battery power)and the e-
The driving force of golf is impressive.
Better than the average
Electric family hatchbacks and, of course, the best electric cars in the world.
Quote is 17 hours using standard 10 hour charge
Amp domestic supply, 10 hours a 3.
6 KW/16 am p wall box or charging pile, charging for minutes using a DC fast charger, although Volkswagen is advised not to charge continuously on a DC fast charger, otherwise it may cause damage to the battery.
Open the curtains here, usually new batteries.
Electric cars are driven under strict control, and on the prescribed route, even if you drive like a madman, you can get to the destination within the battery range very well.
Upon arrival, the reporter was called to drink coffee and cake, while a large number of slaves in uniform drove the test car down to charge them.
However, this test is different.
Volkswagen has provided several cards to access the popular charging network, otherwise I can only use my own devices myself.
Having lunch with Mrs English, I took a look at the Zap Map and noticed that the toll stations would be very few if we went south into the affluent areas of Sussex.
Would I like to know if they will accept my credit card? um no.
I can drive straight to Chichester, or Brighton, but VW says the range doesn't seem reliable in extreme cases.
The 177 miles shown on departure dropped rapidly to 155 miles after about 10 miles.
Will I come back if I don't find the charger in Brighton?
To be sure, should I add the battery full first?
We went to witrose in Guildford, where there were several Chargemaster 3.
Type 6 KW 2 is released on the polar network, where it takes 10 hours to fully charge, but parking after 1 hour requires waiting for the rose fee. 5 hours.
It's not easy to park there, because the fossil of revenge --
Fuel drivers who don't seem willing to let electric cars go backwards into narrow spaces.
So we got the power on and it was simple enough that when golf consumed 20 cents of top up in over an hour, we bent over to shop --
There is a way in White Rose's seemingly selfless clause.
When she was staring at the phone, I was charging with an electric car driver.
Yes, she does find it a bit difficult to travel to the south, but there is a wall box at home and she always charges in full.
However, she spends most of her time driving her Renault Zoe to London, where there are a lot of paid jobs and other benefits like congestion --
Free parking and free parking.
However, for us, there was no home wall box and it took two and a half hours just to prepare for the trip, and by the time we finished, lunch was too late. . .
This is a great car.
Based on proven shapes and configurations and built to the standards we all like
Golf seems to lack a decent charging infrastructure to make it the second car in the well
High heels for living in London or traveling to London, where there is ample charge.
The press conference told you that there is no free lunch, but with the battery car, there is no lunch. . .

Carbon dioxide emissions from the tail pipe are zero, but given the UK's generation emissions of 56g/km.
If you want a practical battery, there is no judgment.
There is no electric car calling its existence, so this is it.
As the accommodation conditions remain the same and only the boot space and handling are affected by the extra weight, e-
Golf is near no.
It gets the compromise driving.
Unfortunately, the UK's charging infrastructure is so imperfect in some parts of the country.
Of the five rivals, Renault Zoe, the Telegraph is rated four stars, 18 and 495A smaller than the golf course, but it is one of the outstanding batteries. electric cars.

Nissan Leaf, 26, is a pioneer in electric vehicles, good or bad.
The leaf announces its battery power loudly, which is a problem for some people.

Now seven years old.
Almost the world of electric cars in prehistoric times.
The 32-year-old BMW i3 is different from other BMW's. the flag bearer of the BMW I plan is 30 years old.
But the fact that its odd styling, slightly odd throttle movements and "suicide" back doors didn't weaken the fact that it was a very smart car and it was very good to drive.
There's another scope-
